So very proud

Ever had the stark realization that you’re not nearly as young as you’d like to think?

Over the past several weeks, I’ve had to face the reality that time is moving entirely too fast. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since I put on my cap and gown and graduated from high school. But the truth is, it’s been seven years… and now it’s my little brother’s turn to walk.

I’m not sure when it happened – at what moment he transitioned from a butterball baby (10 pounds and 7 ounces of pure fat rolls) into a broad-shouldered giant who towers over me at 6’2. Or when he matured from a rambunctious little kid into a well-grounded young adult.

His outgoing personality and strong Christian faith will serve him well as starts a new chapter of his life at Ole Miss this fall. I know he will accomplish anything he sets his mind to.

Seanie – you may be bigger than me, but you will always be my little Bubba. I love you and am so very proud of the person you’ve become.

Congratulations to Sean on his graduation! You must be very proud indeed. Yes, his girlfriend is definitely beautiful! They make a nice looking couple (holy crap, speaking of aging…I sounded almost 80 there)!

Congrats to your little bro, Heather! It’s scary how those big moments (like someone’s birthday, or someone’s graduation, or someone’s kid’s birthday/graduation) just slap you in the face with the news, that yes, time is flying! Ack!
